THE 4. u. 4. BOYS.

The Coming Convention This Week.-Mrs.
Agnes HerndOn mt the Opera House.
The Travellers Protective Association
will have big time the latter part of this
week, rs extensive arrangements have been
made for their entertainment, the details
of which were completed at the meet
ing of the local branch last even
ing. In addition TO other things,
the beautiful and talented actress
Miss Agnes HerndOn will appear at the
Opera Hguse Friday aud Saturday even
ings, producing The Commercial Tour
lists Bride" which has been revised and
rewritten since last played here, and "a
Remarkable Woman" Both are benefit
performances for the travelling boys, and
there is no doubt but that the house will
be jammed both nights. OF the piece the
New York Star says:
In "The Commercial Tourists Bride, "
the beautiful and talented Miss Agnes
HerndOn finds scope for her varied powers,
and she makes the most of the opportu-
mites given her. The piece presents many
startling situations, and though ridiculous
at times are never inconsistent. One of
the strong points of the piece is in the
naming Of the characters, and the play on
their christian names. o. n. Time, the
drummer, is always a little behind time,
and Mr.. Innocent Smith is made to appear
as guilty individual. Philip True, q
capitalist, in love with Mrs. Smiths sis
ter, is a very jealous individual and any
thing but true lover, until the taugles
which make up the play are cleared up.
The piece is clever in construction and q
decided success as attested by the large
and enthusiastic audience.

OF the Mystic Chain of Odd Fellow
ship.
From comparatively dormant condi-
ton, recently new life has heen infused
into the Lodges and Encampments Of the
l. o. o. F., and the brethren have AVA
kened to active work and interest in this
great benevolent institution. Last year
over half million brethren distributed to
the sick, the widow and the orphan 81, :
1SO, 9O1. SO, and this year the sum will be
considerably more. In our own State over
$13, 900 was thus distributed by 1000 Odd
Fellows, and of this Wheeling city con-
tributed nearly $1,000.
These benefactiOns the brethren freely
give, and to keep these up and increase
the amount is q matter Ofpride to all, hence
the earnest work now being done to in
crease the membership, which is most sue
cessful in the effort.
We shall try to keep our readers posted
from week to week as to what is being
done in the Lodges and EncampmentS;
one OF the most active brethren will here
after be the editor of this department, and
we hope to have this column interesting to
the brethren as well as the public. Dur
ing the coming week we note the following
items Of interest:
Tuesday evening, in aid of the procuring
of an outfit for comforting the various de-
grees, an entertainment, open to the pub
lie, will be given in the Encampment room,
consisting Of an interesting series of views
and lecture by Mr.. Charles Palmer, of this
city, whose ability i'll this line is well
known. At this we hope to see all the
brethren, their families and friends
Thursday evening Virginius Lodge No.
will confer the Third degree.
Friday evening the Lodge and Encamp-
ment Trustees will meet and Pamela
Lodge No. II will also confer the Third de
gree.
Saturday evening Wheeling Lodge No.
will confer the InitiatOry degree.
A school of instruction will also be
opened on Friday evening by Grand Rep
resentatiye William Ellingham, assisted
by Past Grand w. II. Sheib. To all these
meetings every Odd Fellow in the city will
be welcome, and we are sure the brethren
will he glad to have this public notice so
they can attend.
Improvements in the Lodge room will
be made shortly, and these, with the de-
gree outfit mentioned above, will be inter
esting TO the members who have not
attended for some time.

QUITE 4 STRANGER.
4 Reptile From the Far South on ExhiI
N5nf Hara

4 Reptile From the Far South on Exhibit
ton Here.
There is on exhibition at Sheib's music
store reptile not often seen in this lati-
tude. 1t is a Congo snake (dmpIumG
meaRs) and was sent to DIR. Reeves, by
Prof. SousChOn, of Tulane University,
New Orleans, for the purpose of making
microscopic mounts of its blood, which has
larger cells than are found in the blood OF
any other animal. DR.. Reeves will not
only make mounts of its blood, but will
make sections of the body and internal or
gans. The Congo snake lives in muddy
water, or in the muddy bitches near the
rice fields, and feeds on fish, mullusks, and
insects. 1t is also sometimes found on dry
land. The specimen now on exhibition is
about twenty inches in length, and prOba-
bly, IN inch in diameter. 1t has four small
legs or fins, two near the head and two a
few inches from the extremity of the tail.
The reptile is perfectly harmless.
DIR. Reeves is also in receipt of very in
teresting letter from DIR. Byron Stanton,
Health Officer OF Cincinnati, in relation TO
the prevalence of "big, jaw" in cattle ship
ped to that place. 1t appears that some
what exaggerated and sensational reports
Of the prevalence of the disease have been
printed, and DIR. Stanton is at pains to
correct the impression made. A portion
of the CancerOus tumOr will he sent to
DIR. Reeves to be mounted.
